Roger Feder

In 2009, Credit Suisse entered a long-term partnership with Roger Federer including the Roger Federer Foundation.

Roger Federer is respected for being one of the most accomplished athletes ever and he is one of the most admired icons in the world today – not only for his achievements on the court but also in his philanthropic work and his foundation.

Credit Suisse shares Roger Federer’s commitment to delivering exceptional performance at all times. The cultivation of young talent and our work with selected partners to support initiatives that seek to generate a positive impact are two more areas in which Federer’s views match those of Credit Suisse.

The bank’s commitment to acting responsibly was an important argument for Roger Federer in embarking on this partnership: “Credit Suisse has a strong brand and Swiss roots and is one of the world’s leading companies while, at the same time, taking its corporate responsibility seriously.

Partnership with the Roger Federer Foundation
The Roger Federer Foundation runs systematic programs in seven countries: Botswana, Malawi, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Switzerland. Since it began in 2003, the foundation has invested USD 52 million in initiatives that drive higher quality education. Over 1.5 million children from 7,000 schools and pre-schools have benefitted from these initiatives. The foundation also aims to empower systematic development and have a sustainable impact on communities by working with local organizations supporting citizen-led initiatives.

For ten years, Credit Suisse has contributed USD 1 million per annum to the grant making foundation of its brand ambassador Roger Federer and its philanthropic projects. Credit Suisse has a focus on education as a means to facilitating financial inclusion, globally; it is part of our corporate citizenship programs and one of our philanthropic priorities as a bank. Education is a cornerstone of closing socio-economic gaps in society and our work with the Roger Federer Foundation has year after year been looking at improving education in the places that need it most.

Partnership with the Match for Africa
Match for Africa is a tournament series played at regular intervals in which Roger Federer and other top tennis players compete to raise money for the Roger Federer Foundation. Each Match for Africa has so far attracted more than USD 1 million of donations to support education programs in southern Africa and Switzerland.
